HOW IT WORKS:
Visit the library to sign up and receive your Book Bingo Challenge card. As a bonus for participating, you can stop by the Reference Desk and get a spin on the prize wheel!  Not up for visiting the library in person?  Contact Adult Services Librarian Emily Nevill (enevill@palisadesfreelibrary.org, 845-359-0136) for contactless participation.

• Anyone 18+ is welcome to register (certain squares will require a Palisades Free Library card to access online resources).
• Read books that fit into the categories on the bingo card between Tuesday, June 21 and Sunday, August 21 (or complete the listed tasks).
• You may only count one square per book. Fill in the titles of the items as you finish them.
• Complete any five squares to make a BINGO!
• When you have one BINGO or more, submit your card to library staff.
• All Book Bingo Challenge card and book reviews must be submitted by Thursday, August 25.  

GRAND PRIZE: This year’s Grand Prize is a $50 gift certificate to the 9W Market.
 
OTHER PRIZES: There are two additional prizes for your enjoyment!  Win a basket with color changing mugs and other yummy snacks. SUBMITTING BOOK REVIEWS:
To complete the square asking you to write a book review, pick up a paper form at the library (one will be provided when you register for the summer reading program) or you can submit your review online (link opens a Google form, no sign-in required). It’s quick, easy, and fun.  If you choose to, you can share your review with friends and neighbors by having it posted to the Palisades Free Library Blog.

FINDING BOOKS:
Ask at the Reference Desk for help finding books to complete your Bingo Bingo Challenge card, check out the Book Bingo Challenge Online Guide, stop by one of the Library’s summer reading displays, or try out NoveList Plus (sign in from home with your library card number and PIN).
